Predicted to enable unfolded protein binding activity. Involved in response to heat. Located in cytoplasm. Expressed in several structures, including coelomocyte; enteric muscle; gonad; somatic nervous system; and spermatid.
Predicted to enable hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA lyase activity. Predicted to be involved in ketone body biosynthetic process and leucine catabolic process. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amino acid metabolic disorder. Is an ortholog of human HMGCL (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase) and HMGCLL1 (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase like 1).
